Today, thanks to a new mobile application offered by National Car Rental, time-sensitive business travellers have enhanced efficiency at their fingertips.

The free app, announced today at the Global Business Travel Association convention, offers features designed to provide speed, choice and control to frequent travelers who want to save time and be more productive on the road.

“Frequent business travellers depend on National to provide the smoothest transaction of their travel day,” said Rob Connors, assistant vice president of marketing for National Car Rental.

“With that in mind, we have designed our app to make the rental experience even faster, more convenient and more streamlined, particularly for our valued Emerald Club members.”

National developed the app using input from ‘road warriors’, including members of its award-winning Emerald Club

For example, the rental car brand tapped into its 300-member “Emerald Exchange Community,” which consists of Emerald Club members who travel and rent vehicles regularly.

“We carefully researched the important tools today’s business travelers need, so we could tailor our app specifically to those needs,” said Rob Connors, who leads National’s brand marketing efforts.

“We know from serving today’s business pros that efficiency is their top priority, and National’s Emerald Exchange Community was able to help us address that priority and more by offering invaluable, real-time insights into the minds of actual business travelers.”

Travelers can download the app – which is designed for use on both Apple and Android devices – by visiting iTunes or Google Play.
